CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED --- Massive Explosion in Tianjin, China - Cause Unknown - Size is Approximately 21 Tons of TNT - Hazardous Chemicals?
"By today's standards the two bombs dropped on a Japan were small -- equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT in the case of the Hiroshima bomb and 20,000 tons in the case of the Nagasaki bomb." Nuclear energy, often mistakenly called atomic energy, is the most powerful kind of energy known.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION.
I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
HOWEVER, THE POWER OF THE BLAST IS LARGER THAN BOTH ATOM BOMBS USED ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI.
FOX NEWS SAYS, 7 DEAD, 300 HOSPITALIZED
There is, as the BBC's clip of a report from China says, "confusion" as to the cause.
This occurred in Tianjin, a port city to the southeast of Beijing.
This is a city of approximately 15 million people.
